Mulled wine

The Bring a Bottle Podcast: Episode 72

Another week, another brand-spanking-new podcast awaits and this week we’ve got loads of drinker’s discoveries to share including an interactive bartender and some fun festive drinks that have NOTHING to do with mulled wine! Listen in via the player below!

What’s In Our Glass?

We’ve got a VERY special treat in our glasses this week – Deanston 12 year old Oloroso Sherry Cask Matured whisky. Distilled in 2008 and limited to only 13,227 bottles, this Oloroso cask matured whisky is 52.7% ABV and packs quite a punch. It has a beautiful Christmassy vibe - think gingerbread in a glass! Aidy reckons it would pair perfectly with Black forest gateaux with a bit of lemon in it.

ABV: 52.7%
Size: 700ml

Recently crowned Whisky of the Year 2022 in a blind tasting, Deanston 18 year old is matured for 18 years, including a finishing period in first-fill Kentucky bourbon casks and bottled without chill-filtration, this is a rich, luxurious whisky with notes of vanilla and sugary shortbread.
